GRAZIHER EDITOR GUEST SPEAKER
AT 2017 LADIES LUNCHEON
Claire Dunne, the creator and editor of the sensational magazine
Graziher, has been confirmed as a guest speaker for the 2017
Taroom Show Society's Ladies Luncheon on April 8.
Claire says the Graziher magazine is simply a collection of women's
stories- women of the land; women who love the land; women who
know the land.
Claire’s story about establishing Graziher will tie in nicely with the
event, which will also showcase this year's Miss Showgirl and junior
ambassador entrants.
A limited numbers of tickets are still available, and they can be
purchased at the Taroom Pharmacy which is the major sponsor of
this event. Tickets are $45 which covers lunch and afternoon tea, as
well providing materials for a hands-on art session.
For more information, please contact Christie McLennan at the
Taroom Pharmacy on (07) 4627 3135.
OVER $8000 IN CASH
AND PRODUCTS FOR
COMMERCIAL CATTLE
A broad range of classes will cater for all
livestock descriptions, and this year the
committee has an excess of $8000 in cash and
product vouchers available for the winners.
This year all exhibits will be fed at no cost to
the vendor thanks to Scott Hawkins from
Dawson Valley Heliworks. Wes and Sue Presho
from Utopia Transport have generously offered
to carry your exhibits to and from the
showgrounds for those without their own
transport (conditions apply). In the past,
committee members have often been
approached by patrons indicating their
willingness to provide cattle for this important
part of the show, and we are hoping that this
year’s enticements including increased cash
incentives, cattle feed and cartage will
encourage previous and new entries into this
section.

AROUND THE RING
An interschool dressage competition will
now run in conjunction with the Taroom
Show dressage on Sunday, 30th April.
Riders looking to gain points in this
competition can find more information in
the horse schedule.
Show jumping at Taroom Show now includes
incentives for amateur riders and classes
for young horses. Together with additional
prize money for more place getters, this will
encourage riders and horses from all ability
levels to attend.
The working stockhorse competition
consists of junior, local, ladies and open
classes with $600 prize money up for grabs.
The fancy dress competition is always a
highlight with kids and spectators. We’ve
heard Spiderman may make an appearance

Six bar under lights kicks off the night
entertainment where horses and riders

The Miss Showgirl awards seek young Queensland ladies to represent
Queensland Shows for 12 months. The role encourages and promotes the
agricultural show movement to Queensland youth. The competition is no
beauty contest, nor is it a intelligence test- it is an award presented to young
Queenslander's who raise the profile of Queensland Shows. The award
provides an opportunity to excel in leadership, community involvement,
key management and confidence.
For many years there have been an excess of 600 entrants state-wide,
making the Miss showgirl awards the largest competition of its kind in the
state! The Queensland Miss Showgirl awards is an opportunity of a
lifetime for young Queensland women.
* If you are interested in entering the Taroom Miss Showgirl competition
or you would like to know more information, please visit Christie at the
Taroom Pharmacy or call 0428 395 753.
